What Would Be Your Big Break?

Nance Schick · Apr 27, 2021 ·

Too often, I hear people talk about this in vague terms, giving themselves a lifetime of excuses for not yet having the success they want. If some magical thing happened, they would have all they wanted. Right?

Wrong. I got the promotion, then another. Both jobs were hard, and I learned some tough lessons from my failures.

I got and accepted the executive position. I moved across the country, where I was fired after three months of 80-hour workweeks that caused some of my hair to fall out.

I won a judgment in my lawsuit, but I never collected a penny. I finished law school and passed the bar exam. They didn’t create the big breaks, either.

It wasn’t until I took my power back and started causing my own breakthroughs that my life began to feel more like mine.

Stop waiting for that magical, mystical moment that allows you to put your feet up and coast the rest of the way. It’s probably not coming, and if you don’t control your ride down the hill, you might hit a tree head-on!
